Multiphase flow in pipes is the concurrent movement of free gases and liquids in the
pipes.
Multiphase flow problem can be divided into four groups:
1. Vertical Multiphase Flow.
2. Horizontal Multiphase Flow.
3. Inclined Multiphase Flow.
4. Directional Multiphase Flow.
The Multiphase Flow problems involve a study of the pressure losses in the pipes
containing two-phase fluids (gas and liquid).
Multiphase flow correlations to predict pressure loss in the pipes is based on general
energy equation.

For multiphase flow, the terms of Eq. (3-1) is modified to take care of two phases (gas and
liquid) flowing.
The pressure-gradient, Eq. (3-1), can be modified for multiphase flow by considering the
fluids to be a homogeneous mixture.
In particular the following variables must take into account the mixture of gas and liquid as
the following:
𝛒 = 𝛒𝐦 = 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐢𝐱𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐚𝐬 + 𝐥𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝
𝐯 = 𝐯𝐦 = 𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐢𝐱𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞
𝐟 = 𝐟𝐦 = 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐚𝐬 + 𝐥𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝
Where:
(m) Denotes mixture, the Eq.(3-1)can then be modified to read:

ρm= density of mixture fluids(lbm/ft³)
fm = friction factor of mixture fluids.
Vm = velocity of mixture fluids (ft/sec)

For Two Phase Mixture (Liquid-Gas)
Calculation of the two-phase density requires knowledge of the liquid holdup. Two equations
for two-phase density are used in two-phase flow.
𝛒𝐬 = 𝛒𝐋 (𝐇𝐋 ) + 𝛒𝐠 (𝟏 − 𝐇𝐋 ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3-11)
𝛒𝐧 = 𝛒𝐋 (𝛌𝐋 ) + 𝛒𝐠 (𝟏 − 𝛌𝐋 ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (3-12)
Where:
ρs = slip density of mixture (Ibm / ft3)
ρn = non slip density of mixture (Ibm / ft3)
Eq. (3-11) is used to determine the pressure gradient due to elevation change. Some
correlations are based on the assumption of no-slippage and therefore use Eq. (3-12) for two-
phase density.
4. Velocity:
Many two-phase flow correlations are based on a variable called superficial velocity
(Vs).
The superficial velocity of a fluid phase is the velocity which those phases would exhibit
if it flowed through the total cross section of the pipe alone.

Single-phase liquid: the flowing BHP in a well is above bubble point pressure, then single-
phase liquid produce.
Bubble flow: the liquid moves up the tubing, the pressure drops under bubble point pressure
and gas bubbles begin to form. Bubbles of gas dispersed in continuous liquid medium.
Slug or plug flow: as the fluid moves further up the tubing, the gas bubbles grow and become
more numerous. Thus, the larger bubbles grow by entrainment of the smaller bubbles they
overtake. A stage is reached in which these large bubbles extend across almost the entire
diameter of the tubing, so the flow regime has become one in which slugs of oil containing
small gas bubbles.
Annular flow: still higher in tubing, the small gas bubbles are separated from each other by
gas pockets, this is, at lower pressure, the gas pockets may have grown and expanded to such
an extent that they are able to break through the more viscose oil slugs, with the result that
the gas forms a continuous phase near the center of h tubing, carrying droplets of oil up with
it. Along the walls of the tubing there is an upward-moving oil film.

Mist flow: continued decrease in pressure with resultant increase in gas volume results in a
thinner and thinner oil film, until finally the film all disappears and the flow regime has
become a continuous gas phase in which oil droplets are carried along with the gas.
In addition to the flow regimes themselves, the viscosities of the oil and gas, the variations of
these viscosities with temperature and pressure, the PVT characteristics of the reservoir fluids,
the flowing BHP, and the tubing-head pressure (THP) all directly affect the pressure gradient at
a particular point of the tubing. Figure (3-4) shown effect of pressure and temperature in
tubing flow patterns.

Gilbert's Approach
Gilbert correlation is the most popular correlations for multiphase flow through chokes.
Gilbert's formula assumes that the actual mixture velocities through the chokebean
exceed the speed of sound, therefore the downstream or flow line pressure has no effect
on the rate of upstream pressure.
Gilbert noted that his formula was good when the downstream pressure was less than
(0.7) of the upstream pressure, i.e.;

Poettmann and Beck Method (Ros)
The charts are for 20o, 30o, and 40o API respectively.
The following problems can be solved by the use of these graphs:
1. Design of chokes or beans for new wells.
2. Estimates of gas-oil ratios and gas production rates from existing wells, knowing tubing
pressures and oil flow rates.
3. Prediction of performance of a given choke or bean, knowing the producing gas-oil ratio.
4. Check for paraffin obstruction or choke cut by gas or sand.
Good results are obtained from the charts if there is no water production and if the flow
is two-phase and at critical flow conditions.
